Why are people assuming Tkachuk has already signed his QO and is running to free agency?
If Tkachuk decides he is moving on teams that can sign him long term will be lining up. The Sens, Blues, Rangers, Bruins, Flyers, Devils, Islanders, Ducks, Kings and more will be all over getting him if he wants to go there.
A 24 year old coming off a top 8 scoring run with a 40 goal 100pt season under his belt. We either keep him and make him captain or get some young building blocks back in return.
Pierre Dorian traded Zibenijad and a 2nd for Derrick Brassard. He is desperate to get back to the playoffs. I think they would pay through the nose to get a second Tkachuk.
